I just looked up the dosage for dogs and it seems it is the same as for Pepcid.
So for a 10 pound dog the Max dose would be 5.0 mg. I see that Zantac comes in minimum OTC tablets of 75 mg. That would be hard to split up! Perhaps vets have smaller tablets if they are prescribed? Perhaps that is why Pepcid is used?
But again your vet will give you the right meds and doses for your baby.
